The future of FreeBSD at Yahoo!
The press in Germania is full of some statements, that Google is about to overtake Yahoo!. As far as I know, Yahoo! is one of the more popular and bigger, if not the biggest and last stronghold of a FreeBSD driven infrastructure. Despite the fact that even Google funded lots of coding for FreeBSD, I had the impression that Yahoo! might be one of the biggest contributor. And not to mention the psychological effect of hearing that such a company is utilizing a project like FreeBSD for potential newcomers in the business. So, what is about the future of FreeBSD? Does FreeBSD have a site where all the goods that has been first invented by the FreeBSD/BSD folks or all the things that are thought about to come in future are shown/listed?

I suspect a faulty cable, but I don't have physical access to the system to replace parts right now. A panic would be a regression, so I'm holding off updates on that server until AHCI becomes more tolerant and somewhat self-healing. :( In a communication not on the list mav has said he has done some tests not so long ago by injecting artificial failures in the AHCI code. He has not observed any panics and it is not clear if the problem is generic / hardware related / or purely local. I would not have any time to investigate further till November.

Other than these issues the patch looks great! Perhaps later we could do detailed definitions for things like interface paths for various cases, etc. I doubt we will ever use them.

Re: Slow load time to /boot/loader (3rd stage loader)
2011/10/25 J. Kuczewski jkuczew...@bnl.gov:
Hi all,
I have recently installed 9.0-RC1 on my Thinkpad X201 and have noticed
severe (~20 mins) latency to get to the third stage bootloader
(/boot/loader). This is system triple booted with Windows 7 and Arch Linux
using the GRUB 2 bootmanager. FreeBSD is not on a extended partition, if it
matters. I have tested two BIOS disk configurations, one with AHCI and the
other with IDE compatibility mode. IDE mode is comparatively faster, but
still slower than expected (~3 mins). To see if this was a regression, I
installed 8.2, and it has the same exact effect. Booting off of USB stick
loads fine (e.g. the installer). The following is my notes with the
different BIOS configurations with a link to the verbose dmesgs for each...
With AHCI enabled:
o dmesg output:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45307545/dmesg_logs/dmesg_ahci.log
o Timeline:
~05 mins - Loading /boot/default/loader.conf appears.
~16 mins - /boot/kernel/kernel args displayed.
~20 mins - Welcome to FreeBSD boot prompt.
With IDE compatibility enabled:
o dmesg output:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45307545/dmesg_logs/dmesg_ide.log
o Timeline:
~02 mins - Loading /boot/default/loader.conf and /boot/kernel/kernel
args is displayed at once.
~03 mins - Welcome to FreeBSD boot prompt is displayed.
After the boot prompt, startup is normal with no slowdowns to the login
prompt.

Current BIOS and ECP versions (output from Linux):

Any guidance to determine the slow down of this loading problem would be
great.
Thank you for your time...

unfortunately i couldn't fix the issue.
just saw the answer from Paulo[1] today (LOL).. but you, John, are
using the same entry with grub2.. so sadness ;-(
nowadays i'm using 10.0current with my asus 1005pe (eeepc) and
everything runs like a charm. i still have the same pavilion; maybe
one day it will run freebsd again (even if it needs 30min to boot) 3

A valid answer to my question may be: we - kernel developpers - know about it, but we don't care, and the problem must be solved by the userland/applications developpers.

Well, as of subversion-1.7, we don't have a .svn directory in

So I've just hacked my copy to parallel the git stanza look for
${SYSDIR}/../.svn, Not sure that's ideal, but there appears to be
precedent :-}
It might be handy to resolve this prior to 9.0-RELEASE, I think.

Hmm, that won't always work, the problem is if someone just checks out a
kernel tree then .svn will be in SYSDIR. Alternatively, if you have a tree
like mine which has work/freebsd/svn/ with various subdirs (head/, stable/
with subdirs for 7, 8, 9) but all rooted at the upperlevel, just looking two
levels up won't work.
OK... How about (untested) something like:

Problems with ada0: Previously was known as ad6 functionality
Hello list, I'm working on ZFSguru, a FreeNAS-like distribution based on FreeBSD that focuses on NAS or Network Attached Storage functionality, sporting a web-interface et al. I've been building FreeBSD 9.0-RC1, and put together a LiveCD using my own scripts. It works, and boots fine in Virtualbox just like the other LiveCDs. Though I discovered a problem. It appears that some new functionality was put in 9.x to 'symlink' the new 'ada' devices using AHCI driver to the old-fashioned 'ad' (ATA) device names, probably to make migration of ATA to AHCI driver more convenient for users still using hardcoded devices in /etc/fstab (shame on you!). However, I suspect this is causing a nasty side-effect, because after having created a GPT partition with a ZFS pool on it, I cannot import it once I reboot fresh from the LiveCD, with 'zpool import' showing a corrupt pool. I've seen this before and generally it means that ZFS cannot read data or that GEOM does funny things. In this case, it could be that ad6 and ada0 both contain the same metadata, which somehow causes ZFS to go beserk. I would like to debug this issue, but for that I need to disable the 'ada0 to ad6' symlinking functionality. I've searched for a sysctl variable which can disable this behavior, but have not found it. Anyone can enlighten me how I can disable this behavior, so that I only get /dev/ada0 and no ad6? If the zpool import works again after that change, this would confirm my suspicions that this behavior is causing the zpool import command to fail.

You want atapicam(4). This is not the same thing as options ATA_CAM. See /sys/conf/NOTES.

Hence they appear as /dev/cd0 and so on. As I said: I know it (after 16 years of FreeBSD use ...) ATA_CAM puts _all_ ATA devices on CAM, so you should be able to access your audio CD that way. I just tried and it ripped a CD fine using cdparanoia and cdcontrol seemed to play it OK (although I don't have the analogue output of this drive hooked up to the audio system). I just played a CD with cdcontrol on a ATA_CAMed 9.0 system from Sept 25 (hooked to the audio), but do not know what is proven that way: VLC see the tracks of the audio CD and may even identifiy them with cddb, but cannot play them (see the error messages). So my current conclusion (?) is that the problem lies with the userland librairies (cdda, ..) This is not to say that there isn't a bug in the ATA_CAM code :) I will do another test on 9.0 (after rebuilding the ports), and eventually get rid of ATA_CAM and wait (im)patiently for a knowledgeable one to have a look at the problem. If this is a real problem, I may hope that it will appear after the release of 9.0 and its use in the real world. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C Claude Buisson ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases=0 indeed makes the /dev/ad6 device go away. However, unlike I suspected, it did not solve the zpool import problem. It still lists my pool as corrupted. If I use the zpool import -d /dev/gpt as you suggested, the pool displays as ONLINE and I can import it just fine. Using -d /dev works too, so I guess this works fine as a workaround. Still, can I assume this is a bug that will be fixed in time before 9.0-RELEASE ?

Hi, Is there any expectancy of getting this piece of hardware (or it's IBM silbing, the M1015) working in MegaRaid mode, without having to reflash the card to IT mode. The reason of this request is that the UEFI Bios on the IBM XSeries 3550M3 refuses to properly initialize the controller if reflashed with the IT mode firmware, thus making it unusable.

~03 mins - Welcome to FreeBSD boot prompt is displayed.
After the boot prompt, startup is normal with no slowdowns to the login

i've got something like this. check it out:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-January/054551.html
i remembered this issue when reading your e-mail this morning.
unfortunately i couldn't fix the issue.
just saw the answer from Paulo[1] today (LOL).. but you, John, are
using the same entry with grub2.. so sadness ;-(
nowadays i'm using 10.0current with my asus 1005pe (eeepc) and
everything runs like a charm. i still have the same pavilion; maybe
one day it will run freebsd again (even if it needs 30min to boot)3
[1] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-March/055733.html
Thanks for the links. I have a spare disk that I'll make just for
FreeBSD, just to see if this is a partitioning problem with the BTX
loader, or something BIOS related. Just to note, it doesn't matter if I
use GRUB2 or FreeBSD's boot manager, both were tested.
Thanks for the idea.
Cheers,

Using svnversion further down in the script

The only possible issue could be in future,
if svn switches from using decimal revision numbers

However, that is not currently the case, and if
it does happen in future, we can change the script
accordingly.

On x86 you can use cpuid to fetch the APIC ID, but that does not map 1:1 to FreeBSD cpu IDs. How does JEmalloc do it ? I don't think it does on FreeBSD. The only thing malloc() knows on FreeBSD is the total number of CPUs. I believe Linux has a system call that returns this though (sched_getcpu() is the public interface which is a wrapper around a getcpu() system call). From the manpage it would seem that sched_getcpu() uses a per-thread shared page of some sort so that it doesn't actually have to enter the kernel to get the CPU ID. Alternatively, you could imagine it on x86 at least exporting a table mapping APIC IDs to CPU IDs and then using cpuid and that table to do the lookup purely in userland. That would only necessitate a global shared page and not one per-thread. You could still fall back to a system call for other architectures that simply returned curthread-td_oncpu. -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Disagreement implies that you and I both have equally valid ideas, and
that we cannot agree on which one to use.
I have read your concerns, but I don't fully
understand why invoking svn info ${SRCDIR}/sys,
ignoring the output of svn info, and then just
checking its return status is a bad idea.
As I tried to explain previously, running one command, testing the
outcome, and then running another command if the first succeeded is a
bad idea if you can simply run the command you need to run in the first
place and parse *its* output. Obviously running 'svn info' first isn't
overwhelmingly expensive, so this isn't the most horrible idea ever
suggested for FreeBSD. However as a general principle we should be
trying to do the best we can, not only for its own sake, but as an
example to those who read and copy the code.
BTW, the rest of my analysis in my previous post is relevant here too.
If a bare 'svnversion' took a long time to return in a non-svn directory
then obviously we'd have to give your solution a better look. However,
given that it returns nearly instantaneously, there's no point.
Using svnversion further down in the script
if svn info succeeds is all that I was recommending.
Yes, I understood what you were suggesting. :)
Anyways, I am fine with the patch which you propose.
Awesome!

if svn switches from using decimal revision numbers
to numbers which are in hexadecimal, base64, etc.

Actually hex would still work since 0x would match. :)
In any case I just tested the svn case, and it worked. If someone else
could test the non-svn case then we can get this fixed and move on.

I have to rectify myself It is possible to install FreeBSD 9-Beta3 amd64 (9-RC1 boots correctly as well, i will upgrade in a couple of hours) on the X3550 M3 with a reflashed M1015 SAS controller, using the mps driver It is only extremely tiresome (and not because of FreeBSD!) I will document the procedure asap, as i've seen in the forums that others have had problems with this machine. Best regards Roberto P.S. Many thanks to Scott Long for the mps driver! Hi, Is there any expectancy of getting this piece of hardware (or it's IBM silbing, the M1015) working in MegaRaid mode, without having to reflash the card to IT mode. The reason of this request is that the UEFI Bios on the IBM XSeries 3550M3 refuses to properly initialize the controller if reflashed with the IT mode firmware, thus making it unusable. A search on LSI's website for a driver that supports 8-Stable or 9 did not produce any results Many thanks and best regards, Roberto ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
